Suspension height in LST2?
1. Have u notice any difference in handling if u change the Suspension height?
What kind of height setup people use? factory setting or what?
Factory setup seems to be about 0.7cm(0.2756") measured from the point i show on the picture.
2. I also notice that my front axle is crooked (like 1-2mm) so much that u can see it very clearly when u turn it around(back axle only a bit crooked)! Should i be worried or just keep going?
(THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PICTURE, OK)

I've left mine as stock, for bashing never had a problem. I suppose for racing you would go lower, but then again people fit the muggy kit which is lower again.
Too high would alter the centre of gravity and make the truck top heavy, unless you were going over rought terrain...............all depenfd I suppose on what you are going to do and where you are going to drive.

I have yellow springs and have them tighter than that ...all it does is make the suspension tighter so it does not bottom out on big jumps, my front are about like that and the back are tighter

I Don't have a Clue as to what your saying in the Pic about the front axle being crooked?

RE: Suspension height in LST2?
If your axle is bent, it will destroy your bearings faster, so I would replace them when you can. The ride height issue is just personal preference. I run mine as low as I can for the place I run at. If doing big jump bashing I raise it a bit more just so I don't bottom out hitting the ramp, otherwise I run low as I can to keep center of gravity low to help prevent rollovers.
